Stabilizer-Free Exfoliation of 2D Materials for Sustainable Printed Electronics
23 September 2025
The work by Jinrui Chen and colleagues, published in Cell Reports Physical Science, presents a stabilizer-free, low-waste method to exfoliate 2D materials using high-pressure homogenization. This approach improves yield, cuts solvent use, and enables high-performance printed memristors with a much lower carbon footprint.
